[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How high is the baby’s temperature?  What’s considered an adult fever and what’s considered a baby’s fever are very different.

And why would you be uncomfortable caring for him with a fever? [/quote]

Monday through Wednesday, it was in the range 98.5 to 101.
Thursday and Friday, it was super high .103 and 104[/quote]

Yes, that’s a fever and parents should have taken him to the pediatrician.  The parents are wrong.

But why would you not go to work?  If his fever spikes you can take him to the ER.  [/quote]

I disagree w/the last sentence.
Nannies cannot simply “take their charges to the E/R.”

Some parents do not want their Nanny driving their children anywhere - so many Nannies do not have proper authorization to do this.
They likely do not even have a car seat in their vehicles.

Also, it may be tough to have a Nanny authorize medical care since the Nanny is not the parent nor the child’s legal guardian.

If I were this particular Nanny > I would not go in to work either.

I am a Nanny & would not want to watch a child w/a fever…..especially during these times.[/quote]
